Letting Go of the Fear of Failure
The fear of failure paralyzes too many people. I’ve found one of the best gifts God can give a leader is the gift of failure. Too many of us are not doing what we feel called to do because we’re afraid to fail. As I observe the people around me, it seems the most effective have failed far more...

Before and after you launch a church plant you should be actively involved in community outreach. These videos will give you great insights for community eng...
Online Ministry
Continuing Online Ministry
Many churches, maybe even yours, were forced to begin online ministry within the matter of days as COVID-19 began to shut church doors. Church Online Platform has seen an impact like never before on people that had yet to hear the word of the Gospel prior to COVID-19. Hear these stories from Church...

How We're Processing Hybrid Church
As the pandemic continues to impact ministry around the world, pastors everywhere are innovating and improvising. In 2020, thousands of churches started conducting church online to keep their people connected in biblical community. Now, many church leaders are wondering how spreading the gospel will...

Letting Go of Old Assumptions
The world is changing faster every day. Too many Christian leaders are working off of old assumptions rather than new revelations. When we assume that our way of doing ministry is best: ●We stop learning from others. ●We rarely try something new. ●We quickly see faults in new ideas rat...

Tips for Year-End Giving
It’s part of the natural rhythm of the year: giving tends to increase during the Christmas season. At Life.Church, we don’t take this for granted. We’re intentional about being humble and being good stewards of our resources, and that includes how we approach our tithing and giving communication at...

The Timing of Feedback
Not only do you want to ask the right people the right questions, but you’ll also want to do it at the right time. I see three different times when feedback is valuable: 1) Before the event Most leaders I know look for feedback on the back end. I crave it on the front end. Each week bef...

Why It's Important to Track Church Data
Here at Life.Church, we put a lot of stock in gathering and analyzing data throughout the organization. We use Church Metrics to keep track of all the data that's important to us—like salvations, baptisms, giving, and attendance. But what's more important than tracking data is the heart behind it. I...

Message Support: When Pigs Fly
We throw around the word “miracle” a lot. But what about real miracles, when the truly impossible becomes reality? Do we really believe that can happen? For many of us, if we’re honest, the answer is “no.” We’d just as soon expect to see a pig fly. Around Jesus, though, it happened a lot....

Setting Capacity and Leader Ratios in LifeKids
Excellence—it guides everything we do at LifeKids. It’s why we created the Excellence Walk Checklist. It’s why we carefully craft our curriculum. It’s why we never settle for “good enough.” And that includes our capacity for kids rooms. We get a lot of questions about how we determine leader-to-ch...
Leadership
Spirit-Led Instead of Model-Driven
Many pastors operate on certain models. There is the “seeker-sensitive” model, the “purpose-driven” model, the “emergent church” model, the “contemporary church” model, the “spirit-filled classic charismatic” model, the “small group” model, the “multi-site” model, the “missional inner-city” mod...

Obeying God in Spite of the Data
What we've learned: "Data has a seat at the table"—it's something we say a lot here at Life.Church. The distinction is that even though we place a high value on collecting and analyzing data (that's why we created Church Metrics, after all), it still only has one seat at our decision-making ta...

Message Support: "How Sweet The Sound"
In many ways, hymns are the oral history of our faith. Like the Psalms in Scripture, they are passed from generation to generation, sung in cathedrals, chapels, or around a family piano. Every generation has its anthems, and while we continue to sing to Him new songs to this day, sometimes the timel...
Worship
Three Questions for Worship Pastors
At first glance, it seems like a Worship Pastor's main priority is to sing. While singing is the medium, pastoring is the goal. Worship Pastors are responsible for one of the most real, vulnerable, spiritual parts of a church experience—when we tell God how wonderful He is and let him minister to...

Day 1: Create a value-driven culture.One of the most important things you can do as a leader in a new year is to evaluate your culture and your values.
